Mexico City, Jun 28 (EFE).- Authorities here expressed regret Wednesday over the execution of Mexican citizen Angel Maturino Resendiz, the notorious "Railroad Killer," at a prison in Huntsville, Texas.
Resendiz, sentenced to death in 2000 for the rape-murder of a Houston doctor but also believed responsible in a dozen other slayings, was executed Tuesday night by lethal injection "despite medical evidence about the severe mental disturbances he suffered," the Mexican foreign ministry said in a communique.
A Texas court ruled last Wednesday that Resendiz, who asked for forgiveness before being executed and said he deserved his fate, was mentally competent for the application of capital punishment. Both his defense lawyers and Mexican diplomats filed multiple appeals challenging that ruling, but they were rejected.
The Mexican government, in commenting on the execution, noted its own "absolute opposition to the death penalty." Lawmakers here officially abolished capital punishment in June 2005, more than 40 years after the country's last execution. EFE gt/dr

It was good TV.
Did the holes the mother of last week's guest of honor kicked in the walls of the observation room get filled in?
What is messican for "this is some nasty", any way?
